Performance of an optimised Dynamically Installed Maverick Anchor
Performance of an optimised Dynamically Installed Maverick Anchor
This paper evaluates the performance of the novel dynamically installed maverick anchor. A series of systematic large deformation finite element (LDFE) analyses were conducted to investigate the tip embedment depth during dynamic installation, and diving potential and capacity under operational inclined monotonic loading in clay with undrained shear strength profile typical for the Gulf of Mexico seabed sediments. The results for the maverick anchor were compared with the reported data for the dynamically installed OMNI-Max and fish anchors. The relatively smaller maverick anchor achieved deeper embedment depth during installation, indicated earlier diving under inclined loading, and exhibited higher capacity. These findings were further confirmed through geotechnical centrifuge testing in calcareous silt, promising the improved performance of the maverick anchor.
